Hmm. It seems to be the same objects that are unpacked in my repo. What 
happens is probably that git doesn't want to pack them, because they are 
available in the alternates, but then also doesn't want to prune them, 
because they aren't available in a _pack_ in the alternate.

That does look like something we migth decide to want to change in git. 
Maybe. 

But I repacked my repo, just so that you can get your "no loose objects" 
situation you want ;)
